As I stated in the beginning of this thread, my ex wife is the reason I got busted. I caught her cheating and left. She decided to call the cops and turn me in as a means to insure she would get the kids in the divorce. Much to her dismay one year later I have my kids, I kept my job, I am almost half way done with first offender probation. After I complete my requirements the charges will be dismissed and I will disappear along with the felony charge. I did not cop out to the intent to distribute charge. I plead guilty on Production of cannabis 20-50 plants a class 3 felony, which again will be dropped after completion of my conditions and requirements.

sounds like your in front of the bitch, good luck mate.
Update!!!
Update!!!
I would like to thank everyone for their support and kind words. This was a difficult ordeal and I'd like to think I came out really well considering all the awful variables involved.
I am now officially off probation, I have my kids, my career is doing great, and I have a wonderful girlfriend who put up with me and helped me through it all.
My advice to anyone who reads this:
1. You really can't trust anyone. Ever!
2. Educate yourself and know your rights and your limitations.
3. Spend the money and get a good lawyer.
4. Dress up for court. (I feel like my suit and clean appearance as well as showing up with a reputable attorney helped my case.
5. Pay your fines asap. Do any community service or counseling.
6. Don't be a dick to your PO and do what he asks. Be on time and keep yourself in line. Be honest with him/her. It goes a long way.
Well folks, its time to move on to bigger and better things. Things are changing slowly but surely. I think I'll pack up and move on somewhere I can live my life and no be considered a criminal.
Peace my friends.
Be safe and keep faith.
Karma is real and it can be your best friend if you sit back and don't interfere.

The Federal conviction rate in the United States of America has now reached the improbable rate of 99%. The vast majority of these convictions are achieved through plea bargaining as 97% of all federal cases end with a guilty plea being entered by the defendant.
BIG difference in the time you get from a fed case with a plea or standing your ground. Tough choice to make when your life is on the line.
Good luck everyone, stay safe.
